It'll be back down again tomorrow!

most likely but it makes me happy that I pulled the trigger the other day before the +60/oz rise in prices :-)

if you ordered 10 from GS.be then after exchange rate it averages about £18.30 per coin.

Think we might be looking at a leg up in gold and silver over the next few days and week or so.  But, if so, I suspect it will be combined with a rise in the £vs$ which will tend to keep the price in £'s pretty static with only a small rise.  Essentially the big drop seen in gold and silver priced in US$ has been as much to do with a strengthening US$ as it has a fall in price.  I think that wind is about to be reversed but the net result for us in £'s will be not much... lol

BB, How did you buy your Euros?  Is it possible to do a transferwise or similar to yourself.  They seem to have a decent rate for retail forex.  I have always found the xchange shops in the airports and high street in the UK to have quite literally the very worst rate in the entire world.  I've done a quite enormous amount of travelling over the last 20 years with work to a very large number of countries all over the planet and I'm always struck by how totally unacceptable the exchange rates in the UK are.  It's ironic given that we are supposedly the financial capital of Europe!!  In the rest of the world these shysters would be had up for Usury for fleecing the people so badly on retail holiday money.

I guess if you have a euro bank account you could do a transferwise conversion then withdraw it in country. 

I use the moneysupermarket comparison website and tend to get pretty good rates. If you plan ahead you can get better rates and often not have to pay for special delivery postage! 

Always difficult though - im in Italy as I type this and I have had to use my bank cards a few times as it was obvious I had not enough cash to pay for everything whilst away. Difficult to estimate sometimes! I dread to think what rate my bank has given me!

As my dad always says...nevermind its only numbers! Enjoy first earn money later!

Thanks mike, i must have missread expecting something else but see now its the ying yang privy. Not for me thanks.

BYB

Can you send me a close up of the ying and yang. Thanks.

Could you send me some pics of the eagle?

Bump

Oh just seen the libs have gone. Ill take the queens beast if still free, same question re delivery

Too much for me right now sobI will pass. Thanks.

Could I have the 2 1/4oz libs please? Is it ok to pay and then combine in postage along with the gold coin i sent for grading?

Whats the total weight in grams of the whole lot?

Same basket comparison is now 375 Euros and it would cost me £340

So much for taking advantage of the drop in silver price!

Good news is that I bought £1000 worth of euros for a holiday about a month ago at 1.19! I have 90 more euros in my pocket than if I had done it today!

Prices edited to reflect the craziness of the silver market!

I was doing a basket comparison and last week the cheapest 20oz of silver from goldsilver.be would have cost Euro 385 which was £330

Today, 20 oz is Euros 375 and with the exchange rate that is £328

So the £1.30 per oz drop has saved us 10p per oz if we buy some silver!

Silly currencies! argh!

Hi all,

I have just poured some scrap silver sheet that my Dad got in the 1970's when he was working in Italy! I have done a specific gravity test on the ingots I got and it appears they are 90% silver. 

I am no expert and am happy to do a return & refund or refund any difference if your tests conclusively prove it is less than 90%.

They are sold as they are basically - I have only stamped my leaf privy mark on them. For what they are they are quite nice.

I am selling them to raise money for my parents to pay for one of my other 999 hand poured pieces.

Round 1 - 80.09 grams £37.50 

Round 2 - 77.9 grams £36

Your choice of postage on top 

Payment by Paypal F&F or G&S +3%

OR Banks transfer.

Any questions just ask!

Fair enough, I might consider buying the bunch if the dates help my half dollar date run, let me know when you can!

What years do you have for the walking liberty half dollars? What is your best price for them individually?
